a former berkeley bear doing her best 🧸

tl;dr: a bit about me

i'm ali, a nyc-based technical writer on mongodb's server docs team, documenting all things related to mongodb's core database and developer tools. i stumbled into tech writing while studying english at cal (go bears and go humanities!) with a few computer science and ux design courses up my sleeve.

i'm now also pursuing my m.a. in instructional tech & media at teachers college, exploring the intersections of design, digital media, and learning.

some cool things i've done recently

✓ i became a published author for the official mongodb guide.
✓ i started grad school!
